Blank is no stranger to the Golden Eagle athletic tradition. In addition to her standout basketball career, she was a member of Rock Valley's 2021 volleyball team, helping the program capture a conference championship and Region 4 Championship while advancing to the NJCAA National Championship match. The Golden Eagles finished the season with a 34-8 overall record, went undefeated in conference play at 10-0, and finished as the national runner-up. Blank contributed as both an outside hitter and middle blocker.
On the basketball court, Blank established herself as one of the most accomplished players in Rock Valley Women's Basketball history. She earned NJCAA First Team All-America honors, was selected as an NJCAA Top 40 JUCO All-Star, and received WBCA All-America recognition. Her success helped elevate the Golden Eagles while establishing her as one of the top junior college players in the country.
Following her career at Rock Valley, Blank continued her academic and athletic journey at Indiana University Indianapolis, where she competed at the NCAA Division I level. Competing against some of the nation's top programs provided her with valuable experience and insight into high-level competition, player development, leadership, and the demands of Division I athletics.
A Rockford native, Blank also competed with the Midwest Wildcats travel basketball program and was a three-year letter winner at Jefferson High School. She earned First Team All-NIC-10 honors during her sophomore, junior, and senior seasons and finished her high school career among Rockford Jefferson's top five all-time leading scorers.
Now returning to Rock Valley College as an assistant coach, Blank brings a unique perspective as a former Golden Eagle, two-sport student-athlete, NJCAA All-American, and NCAA Division I athlete. Her firsthand understanding of the college, experience as a high-level competitor, and connection to the Rockford community make her a valuable addition to the Rock Valley Women's Basketball and Volleyball coaching staffs.
